I suspect it's more a question of weight vs performance...

I can't imagine there would be any more torque/power going through such a gearbox on a small turbofan than that going throught the contr-rotating propellor gearbox in a Soviet Tu-95 Bear bomber (http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/russia/bomber/tu-95.htm)!
